Noelle finally remembered who the woman was and asked, "What do you need?"
"Just come with me, okay?"
The woman's cheeks were flushed, as if she were too embarrassed to explain.
Noelle seemed to catch on. "Do you need me to buy something for you? Or should I call a staff member?"
"No, no." The woman shook her head. "It's not what you think. Just come with me, please? I really need your help."
As she spoke, she grabbed Noelle's hand.
Noelle initially wanted to pull away, but the woman looked at her pleadingly, seemingly about to cry. Plus, Noelle figured she probably didn't know anyone else here, so she reluctantly followed in the end.
"Where are you taking me?"
It wasn't until the woman led her back to the hotel that Noelle realized something was off.
"Just come upstairs for a moment," the woman begged, still holding Noelle's hand. "If you don't, Erwin will be furious with me."
Noelle frowned. "What does that have to do with me?"
"You'll understand once you're upstairs."
The woman looked at her, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
Noelle pressed her lips together before finally saying, "Let go of my hand. I have no intention of running away."
Hearing this, the woman sighed in relief. Then, she smiled at Noelle and released her grip.
The two took the elevators upstairs.
"If he were willing, would I have called you here?"
"He's unconscious right now, so how can he stop you from calling an ambulance?"
Erwin fell silent, narrowing his eyes at her. Then, he smirked. "Seems like I've underestimated how heartless you can be. Hendrix is already in this state, and yet you don't seem to feel even a shred of sympathy for him."
"What he needs is a doctor, not sympathy," Noelle replied. "And did you bring me here just to make me feel sorry for him?"
Her retort left Erwin speechless.
Noelle didn't want to waste any more time, so she said, "If that's all, I'm leaving."
She turned to go, but Erwin blocked her path.
"I didn't bring you here just to let you walk away after a few words."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
